APlease help! Yesterday (wednesday) I have baked my cakes and the birthday is after 3 days (saturday).. Is this a mistake?? Or is it ok to bake the cake 3 days in advance??
I do it all the time that way. I usually freeze my cakes and then take them out 3 days prior to the event to start filling, covering, and decorating. The only thing I would be concerned about is if the filling and frosting are perishable and will need to be refrigerated. I've also baked fresh on Wednesday for Saturday cakes. Hope this helps! :)

Instead of freezing, can you refrigerate the cake for a few days? I have to make several tiers and don't have enough room in my freezer so I was thinking of baking them and then refrigerate.

Not a good idea. Most (all?) refrigerators these days dehydrate to keep froze from building up and that takes moisture out of *everything* in it - even if it is covered. It also means the customer would have 3 days less to use up a cake that usually is best for only 3-4 days. The freezer is your *friend!* Use it :) Wrap that cake up in a plastic bag or plastic wrap and frz. Take it out the night before or early in the a.m. and it will be fine.
